Episode 3
ANOTHER LEVEL
Deep within me I became scared, this was because I in my naive mind believed that taking the friendship to another level meant we were going to start a relationship.
As I was only 16 at this time I believed that any relationship with a bit would lead to sex and thereafter would result in pregnancy.
This thought scared the living daylight out of me, I began to nurse heartbreak because I knew I didn't want a relationship.
I then summoned courage to reply saying I wasn't ready for a relationship just yet and that we should just keep been friends.
Your guess is right, he agreed and so we kept on but I still nursed my fear of relationship.
It was going to about a year and we still had not set eyes on each other.
This is because I always found a way to push aside the request for us to meet owing to the fact that I didn't know my way around Lagos very well because I had been a boarding house student for six years of secondary school.
The situation in my house would not also let me go out. Where would I say I was going to?
My parents weren't rigid but I somehow was just too scared to overstep my bounds. I always stayed at home when they left for work and would be there until my mum came back from work in the afternoon.
The idea of even sneaking out crosses my mind but I was scared something would make my folks come earlier and they wouldn't find me at home. I would have been caught and I couldn't afford to lose my father's trust for me.
